S. OSCAR PARKER, OF LITTLETON, NEW HAMPSHIRE, ASSIGNOR'TO HIMSELF AND CHARLES PARKER, OF SAME PLACE.

GLOVE- BUTTON FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 242,687, dated June 7, 1881.

Application filed April 16, 1881.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, S. OSCAR PARKER, of Littleton, in the county of Grafton and State of New Hampshire, have invented a new and Improved GloveButton Fastening, of which the following1 is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of In invention is to fasten glovebuttons to the glove in a more effective and durable manner than heretofore.

The invention consists in a button with 'a tubular shank with a sharp edge,in the end of which shank a short tubular piece having its outer edge turned outward is driven after the shank has been passed through the glove material, whereby the sharp edges of the shank are also turned outward and into the hollow ring formed at the outer end of the tubular piece by turning the edge outward. Wide washers may be interposed between the shoulders of the button and the glove.`

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a cross-sectional elevation of my improved glove-button fastening, showing the several parts detached. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional elevation ot' the lower end of the shank of the button and of the tubular piece littingon it. Fig.

4 is a plan view of the under side of the but! ton-fastenin g. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the top (No model.)

driven into the shank B, and turns the edge ot' this shank B outward in such a manner that this edge will be doubled up on the tubul'ar ring E, formed at the outer edge of the tubular piece D, whereby the shank B and the tubular piece D are firmly united. However, I prefer to pass the tubular shank B through a broad washer, F, before passing it through the material C, and a like washer, F, is passed over the shank before the tubular pieeeD is inserted. These washers F F permit the button-head to turn much more freely and prevent the shank from being torn out ofthe material C.

The fastening can be used with a plain button-head, as shown in Fig. 1, or for a buttonhead with a loose lever or bar, G, as shown in Figs. 2 and 5.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. The combination of the buttonliead A, provided with the tubular shank B, and the tubular piece D, fitting in the shank B, and held together by Hanging the ends of both, one over the other, substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.

2. The combination ot' the button-head A, provided with the tubular shank B, the tubular piece D, fitting in the shank B, and the washer-r S. OSCAR PARKER.
